I’m still searching for a great Quo t shirt to wear (as a 65 year old rocker) Funny how some t shirts are timeless on any age from kids to 90 years old such as a classic black T with AC/DC on it. I’m still searching for a Quo t that I’m proud to wear. Surely there’s some cluey smart people on here who can deliver. I’m thinking a white or black t shirt with, as a definite starter, the heads down image from Piledriver without the album writing…just Quo. Maybe that image enlarged so it takes the entire front of t shirt? Thoughts? The stuff that’s out there is quite cringeworthy, Would love some images to get a proper Quo t shirt.

I have the Piledriver gorilla and the Dog Of Two Head, both without any "Status Quo" on them. Great shirts.
And if you know, you know.
And no-ones assumes RAOTW either.

I had a black t shirt with the 3 of them in the heads down position from Piledriver album. I remember it distinctively as folk at school commented on how great a t shirt was. Ah those days is the early eighties when it was cool to be a Quo fan.

I always liked this one, which i think might still be available? It looked good in a dark blue too...

I recently picked this one up off eBay after about 20 years of searching - had one as an 8 year old in 1984, but it eventually wore out. Was so happy to find it again...

My favourite Quo T shirt is the heads down one from the reunion tour! Similar to the Piledriver album but I like that it includes John! I can’t find the pic on Google images but maybe someone on here can identify it and you could get a personalised T shirt printed…?

I'm with col on this one. I prefer subtlety. For example, my current favourite is a black one with just the simple Vertigo swirl on it. Nothing else. As the man says, if you know, you know However, subtle is not what the marketing people are after. They want smack in your face, everyone has to know it's Status Quo or what's the point type t-shirts. So we end up with seriously hideous garments that many of us wouldn't be seen drunk in The Pictures and Fourth Chord ones were genuinely gruesome. I think the point I'm trying to make is, the official ones leave a lot to be desired but there are some very good alternatives. OK, doesn't earn the band money but it's us that have to wear the things!

I had one made up with a breast pocket sized Dog of Two Head logo on a black T.
It certainly gets some comments from those that know.

Yeah, me too - I’m seriously tempted by that ‘Quo’ one too 🤔 I’d love one of the rear of NTL if there was one!

Like the suggestions but still the perfect Quo t is out there somewhere. I’m thinking of 2 ideas: One is a black t with a white heads down Piledriver image covering the entire front of the shirt . ‘QUO’ written underneath using font from the cover of the QUO album.
Second is a dark blue t with entire front being the photo of the brilliant heads down photo from the centre fold of the Blue For You album. Whenever I see that photo it’s as close as what I remember of seeing them back in the 70s.

got my eye on this one now - not coming into EU from UK so no stupid VAT & Customs charges, which are a complete pain in the arse! 🤬

My one and only Quo tshirt was from the official shop and was in army-green / grey, with the Hello! album cover on it in the colours of the union jack. There was no writing on it at all or mention of Status Quo, just the image.
I would love to get another one but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
